Navua FC midfielder Thomas Dunn has praised the collective effort of his teammates after their 2–0 win over Suva secured a place in the semifinals of the Fiji FACT.

Dunn said the victory was a reward for the team’s persistence throughout the tournament, following a mixed run of results in the group stage.

“I’d like to thank the Lord for giving us the strength and thank the boys for their hard work. It was a team effort, and the win feels really good.”

Navua had to regroup after losing their opening match before bouncing back with a draw and then sealing qualification with the win over Suva.
